The visiting Kukësi side should be favourites in this visit to Partizani Tirana, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Partizani and Kukësi.
Kukësi play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Kukësi when playing on grass are 16 wins, 9 draws and 14 defeats from 39 matches. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 40 times in these games.
Partizani Tirana form and stats
6 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Partizani Tirana have to build on here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi in the Superliga. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Partizani with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bylis Ballsh game, 106 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Partizani, their manager A. Sormani and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Partizani crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Skënderbeu Korçë here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi in a Superliga match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Vllaznia Shkodër.
Partizani Tirana has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Partizani have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Kukësi form and stats
The visitors are W4-D5-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga.
Kukësi are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Superliga against Luftëtari Gjirokastër (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Skënderbeu Korçë's place.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kukësi manager O. Shehi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Apolonia Fier.
Kukësi have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 17 goals have been scored. Kukësi are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 12 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
